Please do some research before dissemenating myths. You might know CF but you don't know Bats.

> I can see that you were surprised that it still attacked you while blind. If you haven't delt with them before, I can see why, but I don't really see, why it is so unrealistic. If you look at the real world, bats for example can hunt even though they are virtually blind. Since the nightgaunt is a magical creature and you obviously know nothing about how it operates, why shouldn't it have senses that enables it to find you even though it is blind?

    - Mechanical echolocation devices are in R/D to help the blind "see" through hearing. That's one reason. Want another? Neanderthal. (n/t) Proud Blade 10:31:11 3/22/2000 (1)

  - Re: So, what is the difference between echolocation and sonar? (nt) Rune(VIP) 10:19:00 3/21/2000 (10)
    - Primarily semantics (text) Proud Blade 19:18:23 3/21/2000 (3)
      - Echolocation involves other senses, sonar typically doesn't. Kama 04:01:35 3/22/2000 (1)
        
        Of course, if you were merely "trying to point out myths", you would probably not use language like "Hush now." and "You are clueless." right away. (n/t) Proud Blade 10:29:44 3/22/2000 (0)
      - Echolocation, vision, smell... all important to a bats ability to hunt (more text) Deiussum 20:33:27 3/21/2000 (0)

      - More like using knowledge obtained from four years of hard work to show you how ignorant you are. (nt) Deiussum 21:30:36 3/21/2000 (3)
        
        Took 4 years to learn that? *Glances over at his college degree and wonders how long it would have taken at that rate* n/t WALSH 22:28:45 3/21/2000 (2)
        
        Only one of many things which you wouldn't possibly understand.(nt) Deiussum 05:22:06 3/22/2000 (1)
        
        Another of which is how to do research before posting claims for things of which you have no knowledge. Deiussum 05:24:39 3/22/2000 (0)
